Sir Wainwright

With the continued advancement of digitalization, organisations are faced with a bigger attack surface, a greater degree of vulnerability and an increased risk of business disruption. Modern-day criminals are seamlessly executing increasingly sustained and sophisticated attacks across geographies, industries and institutions, harnessing better capabilities to achieve bigger impacts. Criminal groups are increasingly converging their malicious activities across areas such as cyber, fraud, physical and money laundering domains. A digitally-enabled criminal economy is growing at pace, with data as the new currency. Security must become a vital part of the digital strategy. Improving intelligence and insight is key to creating the visibility necessary to support earlier detection and better prevention. Collaboration and intelligence sharing across industry is needed to gain better insights into the methods and motives of adversaries as a means of driving a better response. Sir Rob Wainwright, former Executive Director of Europol, shares his first-hand experience of harnessing knowledge and data to gain visibility and drive effect in the fight against global threat actors. Organisations must connect more, to see more, to act better.
